Hi all,
in preparation for the time after the freeze (TM), I was going over the
bulk build results and the list of vulnerable packages and would like to
clean up the error lists on both.
I am nominating the following packages for removal. Please voice
reasonable objections, if you actually *use* something on this list
and can't switch to the alternatives. Just to make that very explicit:
I do not consider "Someone might want to use that" as argument.
If one the reasons is the age, I will mention the time of the last
commit.
